BeesBreakdown @beesbreakdown.bsky.social · 3d

Bees press finally starting to disrupt City's buildup. City opt to launch it long a few times after.

Shame no one got on the end of Henderson's cross after Ajer won back possession in City's half.

Bees starting to shift Kayode higher up the right wing when in-possession.

Bees with a mix of zonal and man marking. Bees trying to stick close to certain players. Ajer ready to step up when Yarmoliuk jumps to press high. This also caught Henderson pinned out wide to allow Reijnders to dribble into the box.

JENSEN!

What a player Yarmoliuk is.

Brilliant finish from Jensen to put the game away.

Kelleher saves the Fernandes penalty.

Mbeumo is right there...

Damsgaard being forced out wide most of the first half because of the set up out-of-possession. Need to find ways to get him more involved in dangerous areas.

Weak and unconvincing from Kelleher. Gets knocked from Mbeumo but not enough.

THIAGO AGAIN!

Bees have been knocking on the door. Brentford's attack is clicking.

Brilliant sequence for the Bees. The corner routine to the backpost then headed back across goal. Nice save on the van den Berg header. Seconds later another save on the Collins header.

Manchester United really targeting that pocket of space between the lines. Bees backline can't provide pressure as easily without the five at the back.

BeesBreakdown @beesbreakdown.bsky.social · 11d

Brentford's midfield has been caught out a few times already. Yarmoliuk pressing high but not getting to the ball. Leaving too much space for Henderson to cover.

What a finish!

Thiago roofs it with his left foot. Brilliant ball from Henderson.

Bees on top. 1-0.

Bees look like they're matching up out-of-possession. Schade, Thiago, and Damsgaard leading the line to press.

Phenomenal sequence in the final third for Brentford. Thiago able to find the back of the net.

Bees on top.

Yarmoliuk now shifting out wide left in buildup. Helping the Bees find space and build out of the back.

Collins held on a corner in the first half. This time he's brought down in the box with his arms raised. Anthony Taylor spots it and points to the penalty spot.

Schade's penatly saved.

Henderson starting to drop wide right to push Kayode forward. Bees able to find a bit of space by stretching Sunderland's width.

#SUNBRE #BrentfordFC

BeesBreakdown @beesbreakdown.bsky.social · Aug 30

One thing to watch in the second half: Collins has been cheating forward when Sunderland bypass Brentford's midfield. Collins has been able to clean everything up, but very at risk for Sunderland to slip a pass in-behind.

#SUNBRE #BrentfordFC

BeesBreakdown @beesbreakdown.bsky.social · Aug 30

Clever from Sunderland to fake the short pass on their first goal kick and then launch it long. Bees haven't fully committed to the high press since then.

#SUNBRE #BrentfordFC

BeesBreakdown @beesbreakdown.bsky.social · Aug 30

Outtara offside on the goal, but what about that positioning, progressive dribble, and pass from Collins.

BeesBreakdown @beesbreakdown.bsky.social · Aug 30

Lots of pressure on Yarmoliuk and Henderson receiving the ball. Sunderland reluctant to press the centrebacks though.
